OTTAWA --
The last couple of years have taken on a biblical tone in the rural Pontiac region of Quebec.

The small community of about 6,000 has recovered from five natural disasters in just two years. Floods and microbursts have wiped out homes, roads and culverts. Last year's tornado was the cherry on the cake.

"Our little municipality has become experts at managing crises," said Mayor Joanne Labadie.
